I have no clue. No media in Austin will report on it. The fare is supposed to be REAL inexpensive, from what I have been told. Someone needs to look into it. Don't know why this hasn't been done yet, except that the city is getting millions in Federal money and would probably squash whoever reports it. It is more important to lie about Garrett Foster than to report about an actual crime.
Need to ping FReepers in Texas who can tell us the story in Austin.
Socialism and totalitarianism relies on Planners. They plan based upon what should-be. People should live in urban hi-rises. They should not drive dirty cars. So Planners like Mass Transit and socialist government agency groups pay for it. Don’t you want the money and jobs?
They are designed to ferry the disadvantaged from their homes to jobs they don’t have at work places that don’t exist. Of course they run empty. Druggies that don’t pay ride these in Phoenix. Other cities that didn’t need them are stuck with them too. Allows “housing” outside the inner city.
Planners are great. Socialism is great.
